FEP, cefepime; MEM, meropenem; TAN, taniborbactam; XER, xeruborbactam.

b

OmpK36 was considered defective if frameshift, nonsense mutations, large insertions, a duplication of two amino acids, Gly134Asp135 (GD repeat) located within the L3 internal loop resulting in the constriction of the channel, or reduced expression due to insertions in the promoter region have been identified.
